Fragaria vesca, commonly called the woodland strawberry, Alpine strawberry, wild strawberry, Carpathian strawberry or European strawberry, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the rose family that grows naturally throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere, and that produces edible fruits.[2][3]
The Latin specific epithet vesca literally means "thin" or "feeble",[4] but likely carries the sense "edible" in this context (compare vescor, "to eat").[5]
